But an eloquent speaker who so far hasn't actually shown any concrete plans on how he plans to guide america.

In what universe is Donald Trump considered an "eloquent speaker"? Please provide some evidence, in the form of transcript or links to video, that shows Donald Trump speaking eloquently.

I agree there - as soon as I saw Diebold and NFC I realized that this is going to be really bad.

Not that magnetic strips are good either, they should have been killed a decade ago. All cards I have are chip cards, and any point of sale here in Sweden have a chip reader.

For Iris scan, just watch this scene from the movie Demolition Man.

Since the Spanish Meteor Network started to work full steam, each month or so there have been reports in the news of large fireballs brigtening the night sky over the Iberian peninsula. And every few years about really big superbolide ones.

Even when every station is able to detect them only up to 500km away at best. the network reports 500 bolides every year, the lastest one this same week

The sky is falling, but nobody is looking.

I don't know what PS4 do inregard of streaming.
Seem like it can do 720p 30 FPS 2.5 mbps at-least.

False dichotomy. There are lots of options that don't involve any of those things --

How about making it cheaper for employers to hire people by cutting the payroll tax?
How about creating a climate of entrepreneurship which creates jobs?
How about reducing the cost of living by eliminating expensive regulation?
How about making it attractive to the private sector to start projects such as construction or the like that result in more and more jobs being created?

There are lots of ways to get people out of poverty that don't involve giving people money.

"In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you’re talking about, the only cases in recorded history, are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade." --Milton Friedman

For everything in this package and the technology involved, I'm blown away by this price point. My original guess was that the HTC Vive was going to cost $1000 at launch. The lighthouses are a particularly complicated and likely expensive piece of hardware. From what I could gather from releases, they are using similar Laser mapping technology as can be seen on the Google Car. Because of this I was suspecting each lighthouse to cost at least $100-150 each.

Nope, even easier. Simulation here. They basically just do synchronized sweeps every couple milliseconds, and when the headset sees a pulse, it can figure out when during the sweep it received the pulse and therefore where along the axis it is. Sweep along the other axis, and you get your position. Two lighthouses so you can turn around, and you're set.

... which is the question I have. All of the dev kit and test versions we've seen show the Vive as being wired. Is the consumer version still going to be wired, and if so, are you going to end up tripping over the cable or ripping your computer off the desk? All of the reviews I've read about CES demos and such had a dedicated "cable management guy" following the reviewer around and making sure he didn't trip. I don't have one of those... is the Vive still going to be right for me?

I think you're mostly right, though... The Oculus controllers do seem a bit better, although the Vive controllers don't seem bad. The ability to move around with the Vive may be less important, with most people playing games while sitting down. However, dat front facing camera tho...

My country does useless stuff with the tax-payers money but who (ok, maybe someone) didn't wanted to experience space travel in their life time and so on?

USA & NASA has done so much in the area and I think it would had been ok if other nations such as mine (Sweden in this case) would had chipped in to do even more. ESA may do some but to get the really big things done you need the real big budgets I guess =P.

Guess the same could be said about say the North korean rockets and the money spent previously in Germany and later in USA vs Russia. Guess there's a benefit in coming up with different designs too but I guess we would had reached further without duplicated efforts.

As for the big guns isn't that for national (power struggle and might) conflicts whereas maybe the actual human conflicts (self-rule and protection) could had been solved with smaller arms instead.

It's called USB Battery Charging Specification and it's not a special trick.

I haven't been paying attention that the various hacks have eventually gotten standardised. Thank you for the pointer.

I admit that the roll-up cables that I have are all from (various, euro-equivalent) dollar stores, but I did actually measure the current passing through. What I see is that phones/tablet built-in chargers have a series of current settings, e.g. 300, 600, 900, 1200 mA and that they will take the highest one that does not cause the voltage to drop too much.

My Jolla goes to the highest available charging profile (1100mA) on my current setup.
If the cable is the only difference between your phone switching to 600mA or 1200mA profiles, then you should definitely try other brands (speaking of euro-zone: I definitely have good luck at conrad).
Or maybe it's showing early signs of being worn.

Combined with the fact that wall warts and power banks have output voltages varying between 4.8 and 5.2 V it's a lot of hit-or-miss.

Part of the reason why I avoid buying dead cheap no-name asian accessories. They cut corners to get that cheap and might trade voltage output quality (or worse, trade some safety feature, as might have been the case with fire started by some of the cheapest chinese "hoverboards" electric segway-thingies)

The best way to ensure that the cable resistance is not a limiting factor is to use AWG 24 (0.2 mm2) wires, but those are rather thick for a roll-up cable.

Either that, or realising that you don't need a 3km-long charging cables. Mine are even less than 1m, maybe that's also why I've got less resistive problems.

I am neither a spoon carrier...

...relieved that you're not a Ginosaji :-D

When I travel, I usually have many USB-chargeable things around: my and my SO's phones, tablet, several power banks. I'd prefer to have one data-capable USB cable and not so many USB-A connectors for charging.

My approach is a (little bit bulky) 25W charger with 5x USB output (with some of the ports able to deliver up to 2.1A, if the total load permits).
Has a standard IEC 60320 C8 (aka "figure of 8") electric coupler, and I have a corresponding powercord with retractable prongs that can be pluged in most power outlets.
It's slightly bigger than a smartphone or high-capacity powerbank, so it's not something I keep in my pocket, but it *the* thing to bring in my backpack when abroad. I'm fed-up having to fight for the single free power outlet in the room. Specially since I'm a huge geek and have several devices to charge.

Having a microUSB-to-lightning adapter for when the girl has an iPhone helps.

This army helicopter is lit up by 1000s of lasers, and keeps flying. Are the pilots in the article winers? Or maybe they are just afraid that laser light is dangerous? As a pilot, I find the sun or moon much more annoying than any lasers have ever been. Certainly much less intense than the sun.

#antoninscalia His death is nice but he wasn't all bad. Look at his opinion writing on Kyllo vs United States one of the courts greatest decisions to date. It actually bans through wall #radar/#satellite surveillance without a warrant, a tech that lets them scan our #homes, #bodies, #brains, and #effects #covertly. Read that opinion here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/su... and learn about it's violation on http://www.drrobertduncan.com/

His opinion on #torture was fucked as he wasn't sure the #constitution protected anyone from it. His decision to vote against #BarackObama care was gay.

#scalia on torture: https://youtu.be/T72vgAEX66M?l...

I would be fearful someone killed him and made it look natural .. Even Obama might have done it, as he is violating Kyllo vs #UnitedStates and had the #justice under total #surveillance. Then using the Venus electronic countermeasure from the spaced deployed #phasedarray/#electronicwarfare system they killed him in his sleep.

There are plenty of other techniques - #chemicalweapons and other #bioweapons - that cannot be detected in #autopsies which the United States has the most of.

I have no idea how to get the GPS map data changed.

Put up a simple, self-closing, self-opening gate. Drivers will see it and realize that CAN'T possibly be a public road, but everyone can still drive right through it without getting out of their vehicle.
e.g. https://youtu.be/-C-TJkZYEXw

That's the best solution, because you'll NEVER get ALL the navigation apps to update their maps, and even if they did, some folks will continue using an old set of offline/downloaded data indefinitely.

However, if you are willing to invest some time, you can fix MOST navigation apps, by contacting the few biggest data providers. Expect it to take a year before the changes start to slowly trickling out to navigation apps users:

Defenders have argued that network transparency is a minority application and that they don't like the way it's implemented in X11 anyway,

All I need to know is that all the people who know the most about X11 think Wayland is a good idea.

And I've never seen a Wayland developer say that network transparency would never happen; they were focused on getting the essentials right.

The atom bomb test to the satellite launch.

Now we wait for the EMP

They train first-graders with this in every Japanese primary school. They start using a Soroban, which is a 4/1 abacus where the top bead represents 5 and the lower 4 beads represent 1, which provides a visual and mechanical representation of numerical computation.

As I said: the first set are complements on 5. (1,4) are complements across 5: 5 - 1 is 4, 5 - 4 is 1. If you have 8 on a 4/1 abacus, you have 5 + 3. If you subtract 4, you have to toggle 5 and add 1: you get 0 + 3+1. Mechanically, this is just moving the 5 bead and moving one of the 1 beads. You'll notice that's a lot of abstract bullshit, and yet ... it gives you 4. 8 - 4 is 4. It's a rote mechanical action.

The other set is on ten. (7,3) tells me I'm just running 5-3, which is of course 2 (3,2). Since I'm adding 7 + 5 and I know 5 is greater than or equal to 3 (again: 7 and 3), I know to increment the next column to the left and toggle 5. I'm left with 12. Somehow. I see two things: a conversion to 2 and an increment in the next column, so I get 12.

In America, we only use this system to teach kids with severe learning disabilities, since they can't follow the standard math curriculum.

People often underestimate what small children will understand. You can get pretty technical in some subjects, notably in the psychology and some of the neuroscience of memory. That's a specific example: human memory is such a universal experience that even a three-year-old can verify anything you explain about its mechanisms simply by thinking for about four seconds. More abstract topics like numbers are *extremely* difficult to grasp for the uninitiated--children aren't special in this regard; just try teaching direct arithmetic in hexidecimal or *universally* to any random adult--and a Soroban quickly turns that abstraction into something concrete. More complex topics are removed from human perception: you can't get into engineering without math; you can't get into chemistry without an understanding of the elements; a lot of things require a *lot* of background knowledge, and that doesn't change when you're no longer five years old.

When I was in 10th grade, one of my teachers spent 3 weeks trying to get his class to learn subnetting of IPv4 networks. It didn't work very well. The first day, I looked over the subnets, then recognized that the mask was a simple AND mask. Eventually I drew up a logic table, gave a quick explanation of basic discrete operations to several of my classmates, and outlined the rules specific to subnet masking (e.g. your subnet mask is a stream of 1s and then a stream of 0s, not an arbitrary binary sequence). They got it.

Most people think I'm a genius because of shit like this; I've more recently been inclined to acknowledge this as fact when explaining how human intelligence operates. In this case, my teacher made note of my explanation and showed me the results for the next two years: his students picked up subnetting in half an hour. All of them. Nobody took weeks to sort-of get it working; nobody was frustrated, nobody dreaded subnet masking for all eternity. They picked it up *immediately*. None of them were any smarter than my classmates had been, either.

I understood the mechanism. I showed my teacher how to *explain* the mechanism. His future students understood the mechanism *immediately*. They didn't get an explanation of some rote process; they got a full understanding of how and why that process works, and then carried out that rote process *repeatedly*. Instead of stumbling over pieces and wondering if they messed something up (and frequently doing so), they could constantly and continuously verify the process. When something didn't make sense, they could go back and find the error in their understanding, and *self-correct*. That's exactly the same way I had approached the problem.

That ideal you have in your head about talent, giftedness, and intelligence is all backwards. It doesn't exist; we just suck at teaching. We haven't shown them how to use their brains.

It's not even playing, at least for people like me (when i was younger). It's about building stuff that works, discovering fundamental mechanical principles in the process, then tearing it down and building something else. I never actually "played" with the stuff, I just built stuff, enjoyed how it works (or sometimes didn't), and then disassembled it only to start anew, for the better part of my childhood.

The worst part is that error 53 can happen without the phone being repaired by third party.

Error 53 happens when the SoC doesn't detect a fingerprint reader with the exact same fingerprint reader that came with the device. That means if the fingerprint reader somehow fails, you'll get Error 53 as well.

One of the third party repair shop owner Louis Rossmann talked about this on his channel.

Thanks for those links; I had to scroll way down the page to find any attempt to back up the claims of militant Political Correctness.

It's a clickbait issue that creates a lot of divisive discussion. I would suspect that for every clickbait story focusing on PC intolerance, there are dozens or hundreds of incidents where no attempt is made for one side to shut down the free speech of the other side.

The term "PC" was something I first heard in the late 1980's on my college campus. It was used as an attack word by conservatives who seemed too thin-skinned to handle listening to views that differed from their own. It seems like just another example of a classic conservative tactic: take an issue where you want to avoid debate because you're vulnerable on that point, and levy it as a pre-emptive attack against others.

As one notable counterexample, and possible counterbalance to these stories, here is a link to a campus preacher "Brother Jeb" who has been yelling at college students for at least 25 years for being "sinners" and "sexual perverts". If someone has forced him off campus in those past 25 years because they didn't like what he said, then I'm not aware of it.

but on the same not do the engines actually stop spinning? I would have thought the air naturally moving through the off engine would cause it to spin too.

Yes and no. Turbojets and turbofans as well as fixed-pitch props do free-spin in the air. However, they do so at a very low rpm, usually in single-digit percent of their rated speeds. If anything, this is more of a detriment to performance because it actually acts as a big air brake. All turboprops (as well as some of the higher performance piston props) I know are equipped with variable pitch full-feathering propellers, so they actually do come to nearly a complete stop - this helps reduce their drag and increases performance in engine-out conditions. Turbojets and turbofans do have an in-flight minimum restart rpm. This can be achieved either by flying very fast, by cross-bleeding compressed air from the compressor of the working engine, or by using an auxiliary power unit (a small turbine engine designed to start the aircraft without ground assistance and to provide power when the main engines are off or failed) to feed compressed air to the air turbine starter of the failed engine.
Regardless, irrespective if the engine's internal turbo machinery remains spinning at some small fraction of rated RPM, the hot section of the engine cools off pretty quickly, since the heat source is gone and you've got very cold air going through there (not at a very high rate, but still after a few minutes of -50C air flow, it's going to be pretty much chilled). As a further example, here you have a Boeing 747-400 APU (a >1000 shp beast) starting up and going from zero to 100% rated output power in about 30 seconds. The APU is fully automatically controlled, the crew literally just flips a knob in the cockpit and that's it (here it is, near the center of the picture).

Apparently it was the turbine of an old 737-300 with the turbofan removed so one of the mech engineers told me.

Possibly an industrial variant of the CFM56. Don't know what they're called in industrial versions, I'm only familiar with GE's and some of RR's products. Industrial conversions of aviation engines do occasionally happen.

the engine was attached to a large gearbox. Maybe that's where the warm-up requirement came from

Not sure either. Gearboxes don't really need warmup either, they just need lubrication. It's mainly large castings (as occur in piston engines) that are susceptible to heat stress. Turbine engine oil has very low viscosity (far lower than automotive engine oil), so I don't think viscosity of the oil is much of a factor either... I dunno, maybe the manufacturer just wanted you to really baby the engine.
